Seems fractionally better on the weekend. Can get a few seconds to play, but no more than that. Pausing doesn't help, there doesn't seem to be any buffering happening. This is on all browsers (Chrome, IE, FF), latest versions, on Windows 7 64 bit.

Thank you for the feedbacks.
Could somebody help us to test this URL:
http://139.162.211.252/ovp/ovp_home/296 ... 176198.mp4
This is a test video on a server in Europe, and we have plan to move the videos to it if the Internet connection is satisfying.

This worked very well. I am in South Africa, so still a long way from the server, but it started playing almost immediately. I could also pause and resume. Tested on Firefox.

Works fine, but too bad that the sound gets cut off at 1:12 (I'm learning Chinese, and it's fun to hear the audio and read the subtitles), but it would also be nice if the subtitles did not cover the board.

I agree about the subtitles. Regarding the sound, I too experienced a sound cutoff (at about four minutes). I think this was related to me pausing the video. I tried it on a different browser, without pausing, and had sound all the way through.

I had an odd experience watching this video: http://en.weiqitv.com/video/17 - Go with Jennie (and Ed!) Episode 1. At 20:18, the audio continued, but the video not. In other words, I could still hear Jennie and Ed talking, but the image I was looking at did not change. I reloaded the video (had to sign in again) and was then able to watch the rest of the video normally.

This video was not complete. It was our mistake. They shot 7 separate videos, when we linked them up, we missed one, so the review was not finished. Sorry about that. We'll fix it soon.

I'm not sure that this was the problem. Like I said, after reloading the video, the problem went away. The same problem just happened again. I was watching this video: http://en.weiqitv.com/video/3 and after about 7 minutes, the video froze while the audio continued. Again, reloading solved the problem.

Happy to see this. The CHN version is fantastic. Hopefully this will be successful in English.
